Home/News/A raffle ticket that will make Christmas merrier for Sailors away from their families

You know 2MyHero for the USN licensed military greeting cards we offer. What you might not know is that booties we originally created and photographed for our baby cards are available for all the branches in a very limited number. Ornaments are perfect to give a military family with a new baby or a grown up military member at Christmas, or any time of the year. You can see all the ornaments in the Holiday Collection.

This year we are happy to be part of an effort to bring a bit more merry to Sailor's who are unable to be with family this Christmas by offering two of our USN ornaments as part of a raffle coordinated by Navy Mom Carol Midwin. Midwin has started aGoFundMeto raise money to fill stockings she is assembling to deliver to US Navy Sailors on watch this Christmas. She is selling raffle tickets as part of this effort to raise funds to fill the stockings. Check out her Facebook page for the specifics.

Midwin knows first hand how hard it is to be separated at this time of year. Her son has been unable to come home at Christmas since he joined the US Navy in 2013. This year she has the opportunity to hand deliver goodies she describes as "Just a small gesture to show them we appreciate their sacrifice and to let their families know their Sailor won’t be alone."

You need to act quickly though, as the raffle closes Tuesday, December 19, 2017.

Contact Midwin through either the GoFundMe link or via her Facebook page to purchase raffle tickets to win one of these charming and unique ornaments.
